Swift thinks he has the talent to at least make the practice squad, and maybe the 53-man roster. Says he will probably be moved like Jenkins was, from OT to IOL at the NFL level. He will need a year to ramp up to quality NFL play. But he thinks he is one of a few UDFAs who actually has a chance to stick here.
Awwwww, man. Still, I like the guy and hope he can play like someone with longer arms.
Yeah, I don't think he has any chance to play tackle at the NFL level. Maybe his only hope is to be an interior OL guy. His athleticism RAS scores are exceptional. I wonder if he'd be considered at TE? The Athletic said he blocks well in space. He is a fast-twitch guy who has played basketball and soccer (could have been a solid soccer player at the college level). In high school he played offense, defense and kicked field goals.
His college coach said this:
LINK A couple of years ago, UBC installed a screen play they had watched a U.S. college team use a few weeks earlier. It required Benedet to not only get out in space on the wider Canadian field, but he had to block a cornerback — in Canada, a halfback.
“Most O-linemen can’t do that,” Nill said, “but with Theo, he was able to go out, in the size of a Canadian field, track down a halfback and we scored on this play against our top rival. When you saw him blocking in that type of situation with the space, you just knew he was at a level higher than what is the norm here in Canada for sure.”
Nill could tell that Benedet was different, and an NFL career was not a long shot.
“He’s such a good athlete,” Nill said. “I’ve coached so long. I’ve had players in the NFL before, and dozens and dozens in the CFL. You could just tell. It isn’t just his athleticism. The guy’s flat-out mean. He carries a bit of an edge. He likes dominating in sport. He was almost too good for us in Canada.”

He could call Brad Sowell for advice on the position switch.
Ooh, ooh, what if, hear me out, Nagy left his trick playbook behind?
Bam, Santa's Sleigh part 2: The Revenge.
Then, they unearth the Mike Tice Time Capsule they have buried in Ted Philips backyard.
Double bam - The Hester Package.
I don't know why I'm not more involved as an idea man for the Bears. They could win three Superbowls in one season with me giving them gold like this.
